SUNDAY NOTES 012
The air is crisp, the first of October: "With eye serene she looks abroad, Her work she sees, and all is good."
The air is crisp, the first of October, it is Sunday.
The forest princely robes receives,
Inwrought with gold and crimson leaves,
With fairy tints and brilliant dyes
Like sunset's glory-lighted skies.
Now, rainbow-clad, the Year walks forth
With meekly step upon the earth;
With eye serene she looks abroad,
Her work she sees, and all is good.
—Phebe A. Holder, "A Song of October," in The Queries Magazine, October 1890

When all eyes feel on you, your eyes may be watching yourself too closely.
An idea:
So I can bring a tea bag as I pass the fountain on an afternoon walk
Something inspiring:
German Expressionism in film and the introduction of the Expressionist horror genre (and horror in general) in cinema
“German Expressionism is a particular artistic style that first appeared in poetry and theatre around 1910. It became popular in film 10 years later after WWI. It comes partly from German Romanticism and gives a subjective view of the world. It visualizes the country's collective anxiety through distorted and nightmarish imagery. Expressionists had little interest in their work being aesthetically pleasing. This style flourished after the horrors of WWI, and the inevitable economic devastation that followed.”
A quote:
“If you have stage fright, it never goes away. But then I wonder: is the key to that magical performance because of the fear?”—Stevie Nicks
